      Status:
      Answered
      On or about February 1st my debit card used with a flexible spending account was suspended. The reason for the suspension was I hadn't uploaded receipts to validate the claims. This is all understandable. I proceeded to track down all the receipts and upload them as requested. During the upload process I accidentally uploaded my son's receipt to my daughters claim and vis versa. Those were rejected. I called and explained the mistake and expressed that I need access to my money in the flexible spending account. They said there is nothing they could do and I needed to go back in and upload the correct receipt to the correct account. After that was done it was another 5 business days to review. During that review it was then discovered that the prescription toothpaste needed a medical letter of necessity. After calling my dentist they indicated they would but that in the mail. I then called BPAS and said I'll just pay for it due to being frustrated with how long I had lost access to my account. Guess how long it takes to update on there end just to give me the ability to pay it... yep 5 more days. Then when this is finally done and I pay the $11.00 I call and ask how long until I get access to the funds in my account. The answer is; you guessed it 5 days until that payment will post to my account, oh and a business day or two for the card to become unsuspended. This is unacceptable, this is my money that I deposit into the account. No fraudulent or nefarious behavior. Yet when you call customer service your met with condescending remarks and a complete lack of awareness that this issue is stopping you from receiving medical care. Stopping you from being able to afford required prescriptions. At this point after over a month of waiting to fill my prescription I cannot understand waiting another 7-10 days! I'm so disappointed in the customer service of this company!

      BPAS has one star rating for a reason. The customer service is absolutely terrible. We recently had an issue with BPAS having the wrong birth-date listed in their records. Every other company I've ever worked with had a series of security questions to work around this issue. Not BPAS, instead the customer service people just said screw you tough luck, send us a drivers license to change it, and no you can't do it now, you'll have to fax it (who has a fax these days), and no we won't confirm we actually received it. You'll have to wait an indeterminate amount of time, then spend another hour on hold to see if it was changed....oh did I mention that we spent over an hour on hold just to find out they won't do anything. And they stopped sending paper statements and said we could change that on our online account....the account we cant access because they messed up inputting a birthday.....terrible service....nothing but trouble with them
